Anyone else having trouble downloading the Google Chrome browser? I click “Accept and Install” and that button goes grey and nothing happens. Yes, I’ve got gears installed. No idea what’s up.
UPDATE Hmm… I put together the download path from poking around in the html source of that page, pulled down the installer app and ran it. Nothing happened at all.
UPDATE: Yay Pat! They seem to be mucking with things (or I just had a bad link.)
“A sage of Chelm went bathing in the lake and almost drowned. When he raised an outcry other swimmers came to his rescue. As he was helped out of the water he took a solemn oath: “I swear never to go into the water again until I learn how to swim!”

Look… I appreciate that there’s all kinds of cultural historic value in New Orleans.
But people… Listen…
You built a fucking city below sea level in a major hurricane corridor. It’s like the Sam Kinisson bit about living in the middle east then bitching about the food.
MOVE!
Really!
As my buddy says: “Sea level is gonna win.”
I know, I know “But..but… New ORLEANS!” It doesn’t matter if it’s going to be nearly destroyed every few years.
My sympathy is remarkably limited for people who keep going back to live in a hole in the ground.
It’s like wizzing on the electric fence and expecting not to get shocked THIS time.
This has been stuck in my head forever. They used to cut in to The Great Space Coaster with these little guys sometimes.
Youtube is awesome :)
Be a bit patient. I’m workin’ on stuff.
Should be something here of SOME substance (at least in a “get rolling again” sort of way) early to mid next week.
What would be exceptionally helpful is if ThinkOrSwim’s software platform operated natively in a Linux environment.
I’m just sayin’.
It would make my life markedly easier.
This defies all… well… just go look.

I want to go on record and say that would NEVER have worked on me.

as is this rather disturbing threshold-crossing piece of animation.
The cheek movement doesn’t seem quite right to me. It’s just not quite expressive enough. Unless of course the actress they used is particularly dull.
I think SdB has it right in the comments over at Brian’s that it seems a bit like rotoscoping.
Heard this morning on CNBC:
“More people support the building nuclear power plants than ever before. But is this a case of dishonest answers to the pollsters? We’ll be back with that and more…”

There’s a decided positive aspect to the nightmare being perpetrated by the nostalgic KGB thugs in Moscow: They’ve forced the lens on the absolutely chicanery that is the obamessiahs policy while pulling McCain’s strength out and forced it to the forefront in the same stroke.
Putin has exposed his mustache twirling impatience at getting the old boys back together into the fall campaign season and frankly, that media manufactured bugeared freak and his envenomed wife can’t compete on that stage.
Meet Gordon, probably the world’s first robot controlled exclusively by living brain tissue.
Creepy. I’ve got all kinds of setups I’d love to play with, given a framework like that.
Could you just give the thing a palette with the raw data from the CCDs and microphones, then some outputs that would move the thing around and see what happened?
Yes yes, I know. Overly simplistic. But still. FUN!
